I’ve seen it. It’s even prettier in person! If I didn’t have a new rifle  on order, it would be coming to my house!

Just my opinion. Scope blocks and the holes ruin a rifle.

Nice looking rifle. Ballard Rifle Company was using 1 ink 16 twist Badger barrels when that rifle was made. Should be a good shooter as well as a looker.
